[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked for Verizon Wireless for 10 years & I used to write up three leases for the cell towers.

One of ther ones I distinctly remember was a cell tower that we had built on the land of a monastery.  They had a HUGE piece of land so their quarters were nowhere near the tower & we paid them $10,000 per month.

This was back in the days when towns would get heavy turnouts at local meetings NOT to allow towers in their towns, so we paid very well top those that allowed it.

Add :mrgreen: itionally, these were the days before repeaters, as well as cell companies being in HEAVY competition with each other for towers.
 
Now, it's a lot more civilized.

As soonas some genius finally realized that all of the carriers were paying CRAZY rentals to compete with one another, those days were pretty much over.

Now, we actually pay the other cell providers rent to lease space on the cell towers they already have established & we let them rent from us vice versa too.[/quote]

Thanks for that explanation.

Sounds like a better idea to just rent from a provider that already has a tower there![/quote]
